“Since winning and becoming runner-up, I know he has had a bit of a torturous time as well. He wasn’t well the week before last.

“He was really edgy last week, he was edgy this week. The are not coming out of the hand right.

“They are going in at different angles and he is not grouping them well generally.

“That is worrying times for him. I just thought was too good for him.”

Van Gerwen currently sits fifth in the table, one point outside the play-off places.
